An experimental iOS app for rapidly prototyping ARKit experiences with WebGL.

• Metal rendering for Camera feed
• WebGL library free - use whatever graphics library you prefer
• Rapid prototyping using ngrok and Safari web inspector tools
• Simple JavaScript API for configuring ARKit and subscribing to events

import ARKit from './arkit/arkit';
import ARConfig from './arkit/config';

/* Turn on features */
ARConfig.imageFrame = true;
ARConfig.pointCloud = true;

/* Get latest frame data */
ARKit.on('frame', data => {});

• iOS11 (currently in beta and can be installed from here)
• A device which has A9 and A10 processors

We recommend any of the following devices: iPad (2017), iPad Pro, iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

• ARPlaneAnchor
• ARAnchor
• ARLightEstimate
• ARHitTestResult
• ARPointCloud rawFeaturePoints
• ARSession remove(anchor:)
• Camera feed as base64 to WebGL texture

This project is compromised of two parts:

1. A native iOS app that configures ARKit and exposes the frame data to a WKWebView layer.
2. A series of demos showing the features of ARKit and how to utilise the data with threejs.

1. Open your terminal and navigate to the arkit-web/Demos directory
2. If you don't have yarn globally run npm i yarn --global
3. Install the project dependencies by running yarn

• yarn start - Start the dev server.
• yarn tunnel - Start an ngrok connection for live development

Check Demos/package.json for the other available tasks.

Each demo contains instructions for setting up and running.

• Anchors
• Shadows
• Bubbles
• PointCloud

Use the Safari Technology Preview web inspector tools.
